1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT

At Teck See Plastic Sdn Bhd Company, all the part which produces from mold machine will be unloaded by using a robot. Now they have around 15 robots X-Y-Z Robot which is still function to load and unload from machine. This kind of robot is very helpful in production planning. It also a friendly user and more safe when use the robot to take a part compare to use operator. Therefore, a robot not completes and cannot run in production without a jig. The jig will create by user as what design they want. It will help a robot to grip a part and take out from machine. The current problem is a dedicated fixture capable to perform only on specified product shape. So, The TSPSA production department request to create a new suitable and flexible robot jig for new product PROTON MPV FRONT AND REAR BUMPER which is also can cater various kind of product shape.

1.3 OBJECTIVES

The objectives of the project are: 1. To design and develop a flexible fixture that could cater various kinds of product shape. 2. To develop a control system this could shorten the lead time. 3

1.4 SCOPE OF PROJECT

This project will be focusing on developing a robot jig which suitable and functioning to load and unload a product from mold machines without damages a product. Basically, the idea uses a Pneumatic system to function. This jig will assemble with X-Y-Z Robot and set by operator at robot controller. This project is developed using cylinder iron, solenoid valve, tube, and a kind of machining part. Machining part will refer to a design create future. This robot jig must suitable and functioning to unload a product from mold machines without damages a product. This jig also must light weight for make sure it easy to carry and install at the robot arm. However, the cost to build this robot jig also very important criteria which is must low cost to build the robot jig. This will help the company to reduce their production cost. 4 CHAPTER 2 LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 INTRODUCTION

In this technology world, many factory jobs are now performed by robots. This has led to cheaper mass-produced goods, including automobiles and electronics. All the process done in industries actually more on robot help which is can increase a production quality, shorten the lead time, and also cut down a labor cost. This robot actually must assemble with the jig and fixture to done the process in the industries. Nowadays, the economical production of engineering components is greatly facilitated by the provision of jigs and fixtures. A jig or fixture is designed and built to hold, support and locate every component part to ensure that each process within the specified limits. The correct relationship and alignment between the tool and the work piece is maintained. Jigs and fixtures may be large air plane fuselages are built on picture frame fixtures or very small as in watch making. Their use is limited only by job requirements and the imagination of the designer Seiji,1985 .
